After several days delay due to a dead battery and other unrelated issues, I finally had the chance to fire the motor tonight.

Once I got the timing close, it fired right off. Cam break-in was uneventful. About halfway through the alternator started howling, due to a bad bearing I'm guessing. No big deal but it was definitely startling.

The skies opened up during the break-in soaking the roads, so unfortunately there was no test drive tonight.

Need to hunt down a single groove pulley alternator now...
